Because Wordpress is also hosting 1000s of plugins that WP engine users can install.

I'm not sure what the license regarding those things is, WP engine could probably just mirror it -

But they basically got locked out of the default ecosystem infrastructure.

Since others already suggested mostly on-topic suggests, here's an alternative suggestion:

Instead of looking specifically for a mentor - look for an open source project that you can help with. Ideally one with a discord or something to it's easy to be in contact the the lead dev. A lot people don't mind mentoring juniors, but in my experience it doesn't happens that explicitly - "be my mentor" - and it might sound like you're asking them a lot.

If you invert it into "Hey I wanna help you with your open-source project, but I don't really know what to do, what your expectations are, how to implement a specific feature" - then you're offering to do work them, instead of asking for something. And implicitly you'll get mentorship in return.

And "real" projects probably also look better on your github / portfolio than only some dummy projects for learning purposes

Sorry to be skeptical - but does this really do anything? It's nice, I guess, but it mostly just seems like marketing.

They already had a program for Open-Source Projects and a program for Developer Recognition - And maybe some other programs that I've missed.

And if you check the Github Stars Profiles - it's just 76 people. A lot of whom I suspect would already quality through one of their other programs

You're welcome

Yea, I agree.

Also what's the point now? At least a couple years ago we got a pretty cool t-shirt. Now we're just getting a digital badge..?

40% of you are getting paid for this...? 🫠

That doesn't really work all the time, because large files or large commits are lazy loaded on scroll, so what you're searching might not have loaded yet

The code search does a server side search

No, not some internal company, just Microsoft being Microsoft. So all Windows pipelines. They also have Linux based pipelines so not completely all pipelines.

But given that a lot of people build dotnet stuff on Azure, the 'windows-latest' image is usually the default. So a lot of pipelines

That's not a Discord bot, it's a Slack RSS App / RSS subscription.

It's pretty useful 'for work' because occasionally you'll get notifications when parts of infra might be down (like your build server)

It’s more the fault of the implementation and documentation.

Yea sure. Though it's slightly XMLs fault for allowing that kinda implementations. Every random thing is in it's own obscure namespace with 20 levels of nested objects in different namespaces, and if you get anything wrong it barely explains what's wrong, and just refuses to work.

It's mostly WCFs fault. I just automatically associate XML with nightmare flashbacks of implementing WCF stuff

Uh-huh... ever tried to integrate with a poorly implement WCF service? Like communication from a Java service to a dotnet service through a WSDL?

I'll take a json API over XML any day

At some I added logging to a thread pool, when it gave up on child-threads, it would be logging things like

"Child 123 is being aborted"

Not the best of phrasing for people that didn't know what that was about...
